Return Your Heart To Time

No, this poem does not go back and forth. Think of it as listening to one side of a phone conversation. I completely left out what the other person says. :)

You've had it for too long, the due date has expired.
It needs to be taken back to get reimbursed.
It's the only way to have it back. It's required.
You've already damaged it. It needs to be nursed.

We've been over this before. You know the regulations.
Do as I say and everything will be taken care of.
Please, be quiet! You're making a scene of complications!
No, shut it. You know better than to go off and fall in love.

Don't tell me you think it heals your silly broken heart.
I've heard it all before. Just give it to me and time will heal.
No, you're being brainwashed. From that thought you must depart
that it's making you better when pain is all you ever feel.

Pain isn't all you feel? Bullshit. That's a lie.
All you say when it's over is how much you hurt.
Each time the session ends all you do is cry.
Prevent the pain from happening. Please just avert.

No? What?! All I've done is protect you. Trust me.
No again? Why?! You know what love does to you!
Don't fall for another. Move on; pay the fee.
Stop running around. The waiting time is due.

Love doesn't heal your poor shattered soul.
My friend, it will tear your soul each time more and more.
Love takes away, while time makes you whole.
Stop the pain, don't put yourself out there anymore.

Don't you walk away from me! No, come back!
I know you're not about to walk out the door!
Fine! When you come back your heart will be black!
You'll get absolutely crushed! Just as before!

This poem is about those that think all love ever does is harm, and then those that believe it heals, it just has bad side effects at times. It's not out to get you, you're out to get it. I'm with the guy on the other side of the convo. I'm for the healing. Love saved me.
